According to The Guardian, the chess robot Chessrobot suddenly grabbed and broke the finger of a 7-year-old chess player at the Moscow Open Chess Tournament recently. According to The Verge, the root cause of the accident was that the robot's design lacked a mechanism for sensing unexpected situations, such as the presence of a human hand, violating the rules of robot-to-human safety.
This unfortunate incident reminds us that it is dangerous for machines to interact with people without sensing!
Security breach: robots without sensing
The operation logic of a chess-playing robot is relatively simple: the camera collects and identifies information such as the color, shape, texture and position of the pieces and the board, and the algorithm calculates the judgment and decision-making, and then the robot's "hand" completes the commands of dropping the pieces and taking the pieces by moving, fixing the point, grasping and lowering the pieces. Only with the implementation of the lack of perception of the robotic hand, resulting in the implementation of the instruction process can not recognize the "soft fingers" and "hard pieces", in this case can not perceive the information of grasping soft objects, may be "wrong hand"! In this case, if the information of soft objects is not perceived, it may "wrong hand" and pinch the opponent's finger with force.
AUDIOWELL: intelligent robotic solutions with perception
When unfortunate accidents happen, people can't help but fantasize afterward how much better it would have been if it hadn't ended up this way. ...... This time, AUDIOWELL has turned its fantasy into reality: the company offers sensory intelligent robotic solution, such as the chess-playing robot in the news, which has been placed in the program, so that the robotic arm can tell the difference between a "soft finger" and a "soft finger". soft fingers" and "hard pieces", and when it senses a finger, it will immediately stop and sound an alarm!
